I'm a corn muffin fanatic (and as such, am very picky about them!) and I must say these came out DELICIOUS! Like alot of the other reviewers, I also used 3/4 cup sugar and not the whole cup. But really..so moist and melt in your mouth!

I made this for the first time tonight, used a different pastry cream recipe as suggested, and the cake came out DELICIOUS. My mother, who is a big fan of boston cream's, loved it. Absolute success : ) Just stir the custard constantly to avoid lumps!

This is an excellent base recipe. Upon measuring out my cornmeal, I realized I only had half a cup, so I filled out the rest of it with a little less than a quarter cup of farina (uncooked) and a little less than a quarter cup of rice flour, and then the reminder of the cup with a few tablespoons of brown sugar (then lessened the white sugar just a tiny bit later on in the to balance it out). Also added blueberries. This was my first time making this recipe and the muffins came out delicious! And this coming from someone who not only bakes a lot but is also very picky about her corn muffins lol. By the way, I buttered AND sprayed Pam on the muffin tins, just to be on the super safe side, the muffins popped right out and were perfectly golden :)

These were excellent! They turned out perfectly-- crisp edges but cakey texture, so they look pretty too. I was even missing an egg so I added a generous splash of heavy cream to make up for it (why, I don't know) but it worked. Yummy!

I made two alterations (okay- screw ups I couldn't avoid because I was in a major rush) to this recipe: Neufatschel (sp?) cheese instead of regular cream cheese, and my eggs were downright cold. However, I've done both of these before and had things turn out alright. So I was surprised that the brownie part was dry and tasteless, there wasn't enough brownie batter to go around to begin with, and the cheesecake part never set and tasted just okay (when you could get past the raw mushy texture). I did, however, like that there were choc. chips in the cheesecake part. If you try this, learn from my mistakes.
